Picking it up isn't the easy part
You've been bummin' around
Bitter heart of December
Blame it all on the weather
Needless to say, I'm glad it exists
Cigarette on the boulevard
Another cigarette, that's how I make my decision
Find out what you've been missin'
Ready or not, I like you a lot
You and I rode so long through the pourin' rain
I really run my mouth, I rarely use my brain
You and I rode so long I know I'm never the same
Leaves will fall, the weight of it all
Ready or not, it's comin' in hot
Unfamiliar sun
Just take it as it comes
Hope it never does
Unfamiliar sun
I want to thank you for your light
In my unforgiving life
Pickin' it up through all the hate and the pain
Pickin' it up since the day I turned 15
Long way down the streets of old town
When it's gone, it's tough getting sober
Pickin it up through all the frivolous things
Summer has passed and you're another year older
Leaves turn over, the bats will get hot
Believe it or not, the Cubs in October
Unfamiliar sun
Just take it as it comes
Hope it never does
Unfamiliar sun
I want to thank you for your light
And my unforgiving life
